Lunar Lander is an arcade game released by Atari in 1979, that uses a vector monitor to display vector graphics. Lunar Lander featured two concepts previously unseen in arcade video games:

1. A proportional throttle control that allowed perfect timing of fuel expenditure
2. A 'fuel for money' system which allowed the player to spend money to continue their play and purchase more fuel in-game
